Request to Eat Less Wheat and Fats in Wartime Diets
A near record winter wheat yield of 751 million bushels was reported, just shy of the 759 million record, with citrus fruit production anticipated at 187 million boxes. Sugar scarcity was not ending soon, possibly extending into 1947. Fifteen nations planned a shipping pact to speed relief, and Herbert Hoover prepared a European food survey for President Truman. The famine committee urged households to swap potatoes for bread, favor oats and fruits, and conserve fats. Restaurants were advised to limit bread rolls, while distributors should promote potatoes, fish, eggs, poultry, citrus, and seasonal vegetables.
